There is no way to prepare to lose a friend like you, Gilroy. You've been there for me for so many years, through so many struggles, with your wise brown eyes and soft, expressive muzzle. I hope you know how much you are loved. I'm grateful for these last two weeks. When you were first diagnosed with lymphoma it didn't seem real. You were so sturdy and strong it was hard to believe the vet's prediction that you had only a short time left, but then I watched you quickly turn from a young dog to an old dog, your coat even whitened in the last two weeks. I put everything on hold - work & Christmas plans- just to be with you, to massage your swollen leg and spend time petting you and giving you treats. I thought myself silly now and then, but I'd remind myself of what a good dog you'd been and how, if this was your last time on earth, it should be quality time. Now I'm forever grateful that I did, we even had one more Christmas, but the suddenness has still caught me off guard. I wasn't ready yet, but I'm thankful the end came quickly, when it came.
Rest in peace my dear, dear friend. I love you Gilroy and I'll never forget you.

Linda--I'm so sorry to hear your boy Gilroy has passed on. I read your other post, recounting his last Christmas and it was really beautiful....the fact he had one last bath and a walk--both things he really enjoyed. I'm sure Gilroy is frolicking with all his Boxer friends and cousins now at the Rainbow Bridge. -Becky

Linda, I'm so sorry to read this thread, I remeber responding to your post from the health forum. This, I know, is a very difficult time for you and your family and I wish there were some words of wisdom or comfort that I could give to you but in the end only time will help. I still miss and cry occassionally for Gunther but I smile much more when I think of him. Know that we are all here for you, if needed, and that our thoughts and prayers are with you your family and sweet Gilroy. Run free beautiful one, you are a courageous boy. Godspeed Gilroy, don't get into too much mischief with Gunther, Kaiser and the rest of the babies up there.
Mike
